Hey guys!

I am looking to get a fiber for a FAP 800-806nm.

The output of the laser is 10W+.

Where would I even begin to look for one? I'm also not looking to spend 100$+.

Thanks,
Jeff

Not yet Jerry. I have intentions on getting a pair don't you worry :)

Powering this diode up will be a Tad bit of a project itself and I don't intend to if I can't protect my eyes. I've already went shopping for OD6+ glasses for this wavelength.

Get professional safety glasses. Also, prices usually won't get much cheaper than ebay. Thorlabs isn't even expensive from a professional point of view, so other professional shops probably aren't cheaper.
The specs you linked to show a 810um beam diameter and a SMA connector. Thorlabs only goes to 550um core in damage resistant fibers, I did find some at the newport site in 1 meter, 3 meter or 5 meter length with a 1000um core. They fall under the power delivery category, but no power is specified, so you'd have to inform if they can handle 16 watts.
